My Journey Beyond Myself
Part Eight — observe the mental chatter
When 2024 pulled up to the gate and rang the doorbell, I answered by opening the book “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer.
Mr. Singer doesn’t waste any time and begins with the not-so-simple task of awakening consciousness. I’m still in chapter one.
In an effort to share my journey, learn about and have faith in myself, I’m sharing my journal entries here. I respect that your life experiences and soul journeys may look very different from mine and ask only that you respect my soul journey as well.
Come to know the one who watches the voice, and you will come to know one of the great mysteries of creation. — Michael A. Singer
Lesson Eight: Observe the mental chatter designed to solve a particular problem or threat in your life.
Mr. Singer’s prompt: “What problem is your mind trying to solve? How is your mind trying to solve this problem? What is at stake (what is your mind trying to protect)?”
Here’s how it went:
Enter: old, old lady (OOL) and the young woman (YW)
YW: *chatter chatter chatter*
OOL: What?
YW: I was just giving us some chatter to observe.
